Never Saw Your Face
06:28

On a train sitting backwards
You were going home
Never saw your face
Until the evening news
Never turned around to see who was laughing
Laughing in the mountains outside laughing in the window laughing in the sea
Oh oh how happy you seemed right behind me
You and me back to back on the train and the rain comes
And the sky turns black I know you’re never coming back never coming back
Never coming back
On a train sitting backwards
La la la la la I never saw your face
You were going home going home
What a strange disaster I know you’re never coming back never coming back
It was a one way ticket and the sky turns black I know you’re never coming back never coming back
Laughing in the mountains outside laughing in the window laughing in the sea
Oh oh how happy you seemed, right behind me
You were going home

Get out there little darling wipe the sleep from your face
Get out there in the air and join the human race
Race til your little feets are finally free
And you can always come home to me
Send out a ship a message on the tiny sea
No matter where you throw it will find me
Send me your dreams and whispers
Send me your open eyes and what they see
And darlin you can always come home to me
Darlin you can always come home to me
The wind blows thru your book
What a turn it took
When it turns you shine When you shine it’s dandelions on fire
Send out a ship a message on the tiny sea
No matter where you throw it will find me
Send me your dreams your whispers
Send me your open eyes and what they see
And darlin you can always come home to me
You can always come home to me
The wind blows thru your book
What a turn it took When it turns you shine
When you shine it’s dandelions on fire

Love Me Mine
03:25

In one more year my darling
You will be undone
You’ll shoot your foot with a gilded gun and black night will swallow you alive
You dive from the zenith of the highest hill
You’ll swim or you will drown If you swim your legs grow stronger if you drown I will follow you down
One year ago you were a dancer
You would dance in and out of time
You’d lay in the hands of a grandfather clock and you’d pirouette when he would chime
You will be ok for a while
You’ll have yourself some fun
But time will have its way with you and I hope that you love me mine
If you swallow that black water In the name of man
Hold yourself up to the sky
Or the vines will pull like hands
If you sink into the brine you’re lost
Hold on to me

The Gateway Man

After the time I followed your feet
into the backwards curve in your street
I saw your hands makin plan
I knew you’d soon be a getaway man
I didn’t even want you to stay I
knew you’d fly and come back someday
Bringing me presents and hearing me play
I knew you’d fly and come back some day
You are growing fast
After the signs you painted in town
Smoking and painting just like a clown
You can feel what you don’t see
You can feel a danger and you can feel me
I didn’t even want you to stay
I knew you’d fly and come back someday
Bringing me presents and hearing me play
I knew you’d fly and come back some day
You are growing fast
After the time I followed your feet
into the backwards curve your street
I saw your hands makin' plan
I knew you’d soon be a getaway man

Five Dollar Lottery
07:38
|

Fragments tell a story
Life in change mountain range
Let’s stop here for a day check out the cracks in the rock
Ignore the buzzing clock the telephones guitars in hock the price of gasoline
I mean it baby Let’s stop here for a day
The light comes in the wind sends dirt spinning curtains pinned back yeah Look at the tracks a dog walked here not long ago
And old man passed here in the sun
He played the five dollar lottery and it’s clear that he won
The day plays slowly in the dusty town
The cities up and the road is down
Down the road will have to wait
Wait until we come again I mean it baby
Let’s stop here for a day
The windows down blowing hard on my face
Driving through the strangest place
Windows downs killing time until the next rhyme
Next new friend til the end of this one another long long song sung yeah

Here In The Blue
03:55
|

This is a story of something untrue
Devils for horses and broken black shoes
Can you find me can you find me
Can you follow the clues I’m here in the nowhere I’m here in the blue
Broken down cars wanting for wheels I know just how they might feel
Can you find me can you find me
Can you follow the clues I’m here in the nowhere I’m here in the blue
Money won’t stick friends fall away
But I’m happy to dance today
Last night you said teach me
I asked you to stay
We stood in the window and swayed
You say you don’t love me
You say I’m a ghost I only ask this of you
Can you find me can you find me
Can you follow the clues
I’m here in the nowhere I’m here in the blue

Baby, You So Creepy
07:20
|

Breakdown again
Take another sleeping pin
Baby you, you so creepy.
Baby you so creepy
Fat from eating poison milk instructing a sudden palid arc
That ain’t heavy
This ain’t heavy
This ain’t heavy
This internal metronome makes me sick from clicking
Ha ha

My Hometown

There’s safety in numbers babe and you are #1
There’s safety in numbers babe and you are #1
In smiles in frowns In hand me downs
Wherever you go that’s my hometown
Open up your pretty hands and look inside
You’ll see me laughing and having fun somewhere
1 2 3 4 friends all around I’m still looking at you
Baby baby baby I never lose sight of you
Open up your pretty hands and look inside
You’ll see me laughing and having fun somewhere
1 2 3 4 friends all around I’m still looking at you
Baby baby baby I never lose sight of you
There’s safety in numbers babe and once it was 2
There’s safety in numbers baby once it was 2
You and me will always be
Chasing that beautiful sound
But no matter where in the world we go
Whether or not you’re around
Wherever you go that’s my hometown
Wherever you go that’s my hometown

I Saw Him
06:26
|

I saw him waiting on poison pin waiting on my hands and knees waiting till the curtains freeze to the glass to the black sky
Down again falling out falling down falling up backwards to the frozen sky I saw him I saw him
I saw him taking hits from whenst you came settling for sugar rain
Coming from the mercy sky coming down on you and I
I saw him I saw him coming down on you and I coming in like fog and sting stabbing out the raining kings trading horse for golden rings trading out and trading back trading out and trading back broken skin ready to win redder to win the rainy nite white man
I saw him white man get a little if you can execute your master plan
I saw him
